Drink responsibly😜 Thank you! Such a handy app. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-10-04, version 1.7* Great flash card app. You can learn at your own pace ### 5/5 — Great customizable flash card app *2015-08-03* Perfect for practicing characters you struggle with. Also includes extended alphabet, words, katakana, and more. Just what I was looking for! Great practicing app, loads of free stuff in here. ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2015-05-07* Great to be able to learn/practice kana anytime one has a spare few minutes - on the bus, waiting for friends etc. Has hugely assisted me in learning Hiragana! Well done! ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2015-02-18, version 1.7* Helped me pass my Japanese Flash Card quizzes. Easy to use. Highly recommended. ### 4/5 — Like *2015-02-11* I like it. Very simple and useful. Helps me to memorize and make sure I have them memorized the kana characters. You can choose which characters you want/need to learn, too, which is a plus. The reason I took off a star is because I wish I could choose to do both hiragana and katakana simultaneously or separately instead of just separately. ### 5/5 — Freaking great! *2015-01-22, version 1.7* This set up is perfect and free! ### 5/5 — Very good beginner SRS flashcard *2014-09-28* It's great, and while content is free, you can pay a small amount to help support the developers! ### 5/5 — Stunning *2014-09-21, version 1.7* Easy to use, quick and reliable, by far the best script learner I've found ### 5/5 — Nice and simple *2014-08-21* Simple app, nothing super fancy. Very helpful for studying whenever you have a small chunk of time. I study the flashcards during my commutes or when I'm waiting. ### 5/5 — The best flashcard app *2014-08-19, version 1.7* The best flash card app for learning Japanese characters. Customizable decks of cards are awesome and I much prefer this way of reviewing to other apps out there. Thanks a lot! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitch *2021-08-04, version 2.1* It seems like a great idea, but I can’t do anything on this app. After five or six flash cards the screen goes white and a small, vertical line appears. No matter if I swipe left, right, down nothing happens. ### 1/5 — buggy and hidden in app purchase *2015-03-03, version 1.7* not even worth trying ### 3/5 — Very good but please change one thing *2026-06-14* I want to do rapid multiple flashcard drills, but the feedback of correct or incorrect is a color and then it goes to next card. I am color blind, so this does not work for me. A suggestions is to have a sound for positive and negative and include an option to not move on until you have selected the correct one. This is crucial for positive reinforcement. When selecting correct answer along with a positive sound, it rewards the brain and implants it into long term memory. ### 3/5 — Learning *2013-03-26, version 1.3* Great app when U need to learn on the go!!! ### 3/5 — Good one *2013-03-14, version 1.3* Really good app to start with. After 3 lessons I can read a bit of Hirigana! ### 4/5 — Simple, free, good. *2017-05-26* Without, paying you get a bare bones flash card app. It doesn't keep track of your yes' and no' and does not have a timer. ### 4/5 — Useful! *2016-07-11* Good free app! Wish it was easier to mix decks ### 4/5 — Very easy to use *2015-09-13, version 1.7* It's very easy to use and very simple. It has helped me a lot to learn Japanese. ### 4/5 — Good app for learning japanese for a beginner *2015-08-31* Easy and pragmatic app for beginner like me ### 4/5 — Very useful *2015-06-18* I love how it has the hiragana and katakana flash cards to study with. I also like how it has a wide variety of vocabulary that you can learn. I just wish that they would have the vocab written in kanji instead. It would also be cool if they taught you how to say the kanji, if they had any. Other than that it's a good app for Japanese beginners to study ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App! *2020-05-29* This is a no nonsense, if I want to practice that’s what it does. No fluf. Suzano ### 5/5 — Utilitarian – Does exactly what it advertises and does it well *2018-08-22* There are other Japanese language learning apps/tech/tools out there. There are other flashcard apps. Most other apps try to cram in as many features as possible to make it a one-stop shop. When I searched "Katakana flashcards" I had one specific purpose in mind: finding a simple app to quiz me on memorizing these characters and nothing more. This app does what it says. It's very simple. Flashcards don't need to be complex. It serves its function well. Worth the $1 or $2. ### 5/5 — The best tool for memorizing these *2018-03-30* I’ve tried them all and this is the best tool for learning hiragana and katakana. Be sure to double-click the English half of the screen to hide it, and then just rest your finger in that area to peek at the answer. Swipe forward if you guess it, backward to go back, and swipe down if you get it wrong. You can select which cards to review. If you build up by 2 or 3 cards at a time, learning will be both certain and painless. ### 5/5 — Awesome first step in learning Japanese. *2017-07-23* I've been self studying Japanese for a while now and I've downloaded and used just about every Japanese learning app there is, but for learning kana this one was the best by far. It's easy to use, extensive with content and add free. If you are just starting to learn Japanese and you have zero knowledge about any of it, I've been there and it's daunting. My best tip is to first learn Hiragana and Katakana before diving into grammar and vocabulary, and this app is perfect for that first step in learning Japanese. Plus, once you've learned the kana this app also has 920 more vocabulary flash cards for you to practice your reading, and extend your knowledge, and they're all completely free which is very rare, you don't have to pay for a "deluxe version" or anything like that. So let me save you the time in looking for a better Japanese flash card app. This has by far been the best free Japanese app in all my days of searching. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2016-12-31* This app has been an invaluable tool for me in learning kana, it's simple but very effective, a basic randomised flash card system where you choose the deck of kana you wish to test yourself on. ### 5/5 — Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious *2016-08-02* I'm an advanced learner and this app provide all the words I used to forget on the flash cards. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — I learned to read Japanese! *2016-07-11* I used this app in 2015 to learn hiragana and katakana before a trip to Japan, and it was spectacular. I had the alphabets down in only a few weeks! Even if you don't know how to speak Japanese, learning to read Katakana can still help you greatly as most katakana words are English cognates. I still use this regularly to keep up my skills. ### 5/5 — Simple, in a good way. *2016-05-16* If you're just starting, this is a great choice for memorization. It's simple and unobtrusive, hasn't crashed, and nothing is behind paywalls (besides a few shortcuts). ### 5/5 — It works *2016-04-25, version 1.7* No problems and it really does work, I pretty much got all hiragana characters memorised in no time ### 5/5 — Really great *2016-03-17* Highly recommended and absolutely free. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
